Welcome to the Strategy Guide, designed as a clearing-house for the Pan-European Biological and Landscape Diversity Strategy (PEBLDS) to carry news and background information of the Strategy activities, news of its participating organizations and other contacts and general announcements concerning related activities.

The Strategy Guide actively contributes to the Clearing-House Mechanism of the Convention on Biological Diversity. It is complementary to information systems such as UNEP/Global Resources Information Database, BIN21 (Biodiversity Information Network), EC CHM (European Community Clearing-House Mechanism), and EIONET (Environment Information and Observation Network). It directly serves as an information and communication tool for all those involved in implementing the Strategy.

You are invited to make use of the Strategy Guide and to contribute to it in order to make it as efficient and up to date as possible.
